Welcome to Snowflake, Vermont

Hi everyone! I’m
Lucky Jamieson.I guess if you’ve
visited Snowflake, Vermont,
you know all about me and the By the Spoonful Soup Shop.

I spent most of my younger years trying to escape to the big
city, but when my parents were killed in a car crash on an icy road, I came
home.It was a tough time, especially
since I learned I had inherited my parents’ soup shop.I was nervous about taking over their business
and agonized a lot over whether I had made the right decision.

You might not know this, but in A Spoonful of Murder, the body of a winter tourist was discovered
behind our restaurant.She had been
bludgeoned to death and was found frozen in a snow bank.Our fabulous chef was arrested for the murder
and then, well, our business almost went belly up.People stayed away like we had the plague.We were the focus of a lot of bad publicity,
and my grandfather Jack’s health began to suffer.It was a tough time indeed!

There were a couple of good things that happened that winter
though. I was able to reconnect with my
best friend from childhood, Sophie Colgan.Sophie had been angry that I left town and went off to college but we
were able to make up and are now really close. I started seeing Elias Scott, our handsome
town doctor.Elias was my big crush when
I was young, but the age difference between us then was too great.Now that I’m older, well, almost thirty now,
but old enough, Elias took an interest in me.

Snowflake is a very peaceful village . . . normally.But in the second book about our town, A Broth of Betrayal, murder came
calling again.And this April, you can
read more about all of us in A Roux of Revenge.

I wonder now why I ever left. I couldn’t be happier to be home again,
running the soup shop with my grandfather and our fabulous chef.I hope if you decide to visit Snowflake,
you’ll stop in at the By the Spoonful Soup Shop and say ‘hi’ to me and all our
regulars. We have the best food in town
– not to mention a lot of mysteries, excitement and thrills.

I haven't read any of your books but plan to do so. Are soup recipes included? We like to have soups during the winter months. Among our favorites are Chicken Noodle, chili and a Beef potato soup. I also make ham and bean soup when I can get some decent smoked ham hocks with lots of meat on them.

I have loved every book in this series and looking forward to getting the latest one. WE vacation in Vermont, so I really enjoy books with a Northern location. Such a cute blog post today. Thank you for the great reading entertainment.

Thanks for stopping by! It's great to hear from someone who loves this series and loves Vermont. I think there is something magical about that state. The music to Moonlight in Vermont is running thru my head right now!
